    Summary

    “I’m serious!” Shen Yuan continued, warming to the idea immediately. “You’ve got the whole vibe down. The calm, the posture, the ‘I could sentence you to death but I’m feeling merciful today’ expression.”

    The man leaned back, thinking harder.

    “Maybe a scholar type,” he mused aloud. “Though if you were in that novel you'd probably end up the antagonist.”

    He wrinkled his nose.

    “And let me tell you—nobody wants to be Shen Qingqiu.”

    Shen Jiu’s fan stilled.

    Summary

    “Does bonding with you mean you’re mine?” he asked with nearly a childlike wonder.

    Gasps erupted behind them.

    Familiars did not speak aloud.

    Shen Jiu ignored everyone else completely.

    “It means you're mine,” he corrected coolly.

    The creature’s eyes narrowed pleasantly.

    “Ah,” it said softly. “That works too.”

    Shen Jiu wants a powerful familiar. An intelligent familiar. A familiar worthy of the Academy's top student.

    What he gets is Shen Yuan.

    Or:

    Shen Jiu accidentally summons an eldritch horror with the personality of an affectionate cat and discovers that everyone else's survival instincts are dramatically overdeveloped.

    "I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."

    "Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"

    "Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.

    "Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."

    "Let's not joke."

    “You flatter me.”

    Grace shakes her head. “I— I really don’t mean to.”

    “But you do.” Adrian insists. “You name planet that saved the universe after me. You name planet that seeded all life after me… now you tell me that I am something humans would like to adorn themselves with?”
